Days 4 Nights Mount Kenya Climbing Naro Moru Route
Naro Moru route is the quickest
way to the base of the mountain and Pt. Lenana. It is
also one of the steepest routes and extra care should
be taken here to avoid problems with AMS. Walking up towards
Mackinders Camp through the Teleki Valley offers superb
views of the peaks of Batian and Nelion. A steep section
known as the "vertical bog" is crossed around
midwau to Mackinders Hut and a stopover here is almost
compulsory. The accomodations are good with bunkhouses
at Met Station and Mackinder's Camp.
